Calvin Kattar snaps Giga Chikadze's winning streak in UFC Vegas 46 main event

The UFC Apex in Las Vegas hosted the fight promotion’s first event of 2022 on Saturday featuring a featherweight bout between contenders Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze.

Kattar entered the bout looking to rebound from a loss to former champion Max Holloway while Chikadze hoped to extend his winning streak and enter the realm of title challenger.

Kattar may be put in his best career performance on Saturday, dominating Chikadze and snapping his nine-fight winning streak.

Chikadze came out aggressive in the opening frame, landing leg kicks and setting the pace. He slipped after missing with a head kick and Kattar gained top position kept Chikadze on the ground for the remainder of the round.

In the second round, Kattar began pressuring Chikadze and it payed off. Chikadze was able to employ his kicking offense due to Kattar’s pressure. The two slugged it out for most of the round with Kattar connecting with a spinning elbow and finishing the round strong.

As the fight got into the third and fourth rounds, Kattar’s pressure had Chikadze on his heels. Kattar’s jab repeatedly found a home and his right hand connected to its target regularly. Chikadze showed his toughness and fought back, but didn’t have an answer for Kattar’s high output.

東京都渋谷区代々木1丁目の焼き肉店「焼肉牛星代々木店」で8日夜、客の男が男性店長(49)を人質に立てこもる事件があり、警視庁は翌9日午前0時すぎに監禁容疑で男を現行犯逮捕した。店長は110番した際に「客に『爆弾を起動した。警察に連絡しろ』とのメモを渡された」と話していたが、爆発などは起きず、けがはなかった。捜査関係者によると、男は住所不定の無職荒木秋冬容疑者(28)。店長には「最近あった電車内での事件のようにしたかった」と話していたといい、昨年10月に起きた京王線内の事件などに触発された可能性がある。調べに対し「2週間前に長崎県内の実家を出て、新宿でホームレス生活していた。生きている意味を見いだせなかった」と供述。店内では事件前に焼き肉を食べており、「場所はどこでも良かったが、捕まる前に焼き肉が食べたかった」と話している。現場では箱状の物3個が見つかり、粘着テープが巻かれたり携帯電話が取り付けられたりしていた。荒木容疑者は「見せかけの爆弾を作った」と説明しているという。警視庁は牛刀や果物ナイフを押収し、銃刀法違反の疑いも視野に調べる。事件は8日午後8時55分ごろ、JR代々木駅そばのビルの地下1階にある店舗で発生し、警視庁の捜査員が説得に当たった。9日午前0時10分ごろ、「バンバンバン」という大きな音とともに捜査員が一斉にビルへ突入。荒木容疑者をパトカーに乗せて連行した。近くに住む男性(26)は「確保されて良かった。よく行っていた店なのですごく心配だった」とほっとしていた。付近は規制線が張られ、赤色灯を光らせた捜査車両や消防車などが詰め掛け一時騒然。近くで買い物していたという男子大学生(22)は「こんな事件に出くわして怖い」と語った。(共同)
